Description
Gosh, I really need to work on Rainbow Sparkle's Side view.
She looks more like a very young stallion filly than a young mare. (Plus I was too lazy to actually animate her mane >< ) So I think I just made it a little too short on her. 
Oh well, I don't feel like fixing it. I have commissions to do. So I know that quite a few people wanted me to do a running pony instead of simply my running canine's. -->
However My main issue is that there are so many running sprite bases that I feel like no one would be willing to pay a decent amount for me to even put effort into these. So I took the lazy way out and used the same head on each frame with a slight bob (In case you couldn't already tell) and referenced a few of these running sprites plus a clip from the show to figure out the legs.
It turns out there are a ton of tiny 50x50 sized sprites, but not 150 x 150 dolls. Sooooo...I made one at doll sized.

So, let me get this strait, you have ms paint on a tablet? NO WAY

MS Paint works with a tablet, and I recently found out that one of the brushes in the newer version has pressure sensitivity enabled as well. ^^
Although I've only had my tablet of a little under a year, before that I used to draw with nothing but a touch pad and the line tool

She probably looks like a lot of people's OC's. 
This one was designed by my little cousin in the pony maker. Considering she's only 8 she wasn't very original and went with a ton of stereotypical features such as Rainbow Dash's mane, white coat, and made her an alicorn. She might as well be a Celestia X Rainbow Dash offspring based on her looks, and the name itself isn't quite original either. Pretty sure she just combined Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle's name.
Either way, her OC is a perfect test subject for most of my animations. I can practice both with wings and horns as well as multicolored manes.

The animation is a work of beauty but what's up with the head? XD sorry

I messed up on the shape, but got too lazy to actually fix it, let alone animate the mane so I just used the same head at different positions on each frame. I know it looks too static but that's what happens when I'm too busy/lazy to really work on it properly.
